Domaine Dublére, Morey-Saint-Denis Les Blanchards 2013

The Morey-Saint-Denis Les Blanchards 2013 is a quite serious wine. It’s unmistakingly Dublere but a bit more backward than usual. The nose is offering a nice selection of red and dark forest berries … cool and airy .. a bit darker than normally .. and very Morey. On the palate quite dark fruit for a Dublere wine … quite some tannins .. but quite forward and expressive. Need some time to unfold and shed some of the tannins. Give it 5 to 10 years in the cellar.
